>> this could start the conversation with your doctor, i don't think you should take them carte blanche. >> that does it for us now, hope you join us, go to ac 360.com, and "piers morgan starts now." this is piers morgan live. thank you for joining us, george zimmerman back in trouble with the law. we'll have the latest. also, more on toronto's crack mayor. the story just gets weirder and weirder. listen to what rob ford said on his own tv show, just moments ago. >> i'm not stepping down, i'm not an alcoholic, i'm not a drug addict. >> you are, though, endlessly entertaining. tonight, i'll talk about the

person who ran for mayor, sarah thompson said he groped her, and called her a naughty, naughty girl. and this happened today. and the unvarnished opinion. >> you have to think he is either not telling the truth or is grossly incompetent. and how healthy are america's companies? i'll ask a man who lost chunks of everything from apple to twitter, and from time warner to fox, the arabian buffet. and now, more on the man who was charged with killing trayvon martin and was found not guilty, today was charged with allegedly pointing a shotgun at his girlfriend.

listen to this dramatic 911 call. >> he is in my house, breaking all of my [ bleep ], i asked him to leave. he has his gun, breaking all of my stuff right now. >> and here is george zimmerman's side of the story and his call. >> she just started smashing stuff. taking stuff that belonged to me, throwing it outside. throwing it out of her room. throwing it all over the house. >> zimmerman was charged with two misdemeanor, domestic battery and criminal mischief. he is being held without bail and will be in court tomorrow. joining me now, the legal analyst. lisa, here we go again with george zimmerman. what is your take on what has gone down today with him and his girlfriend? >> well, first of all, let's look at the context, this is the third woman since 2005 who has accused george zimmerman of domestic violence. there was his ex-fiancee in 2005, just this year, shellie zimmerman made similar

accusations against him, and now today, his girlfriend. do we believe that all of these welcome up with similar allegations, and yet he is constantly the victim? because that is his story. i think most people would find it hard to believe. >> yeah, and so do the police or they wouldn't have charged him. and next, you hear these 911 calls, the first from a panicky girlfriend saying he is threatening to smash the place up, waving guns, then you hear him calling after he goes outside to talk to the police. and he has a measured tone and is explaining it all very simply. almost as if you were being cynical, he is covering the tracks of the damage already created. >> why is he calling 911, the operator asks, when the police are right outside? go talk to the police, you know, the 911 is not supposed to be for media and pr, to tell your side of the story. it is supposed to be for people who actually have emergencies.

he is calling in other words, to give his side of the story which he does, in a very calm way. the officer says go outside and do it. >> he is also aware of the law and seems to be able to behave in a way that tries to convince the authorities that he is acting entirely rationally and properly. >> well, look, he has been the teflon defendant since 2005. nothing has stuck to him. it is always everybody else's fault. of course the worst outcome was with trayvon martin, the unarmed teen who he shot and killed. but there are also these three women who made these allegations against him. each time he says he is the victim, acting in self defense, last time, shellie zimmerman dropped the charges. i hope this doesn't happen here, most of you, from a safety standpoint, to get to the bottom of it. she says he took a shotgun and broke the glass table.

he says she broke the glass table. well, i think police should be able to determine who broke the glass table. that is something they can determine, and determine who is telling the truth here after all. >> we also learned from the girlfriend he has a shotgun and an ar-15 assault rifle in the house. i am shocked that somebody like george zimmerman is able to just legally own an ar-15 assault rifle. >> right, and as you know, piers, assault weapons were banned from 1994 to 2004 in this country. that ban expired and now he can lawfully have a gun. he is currently incarcerated. and i understand the attorneys in florida will ask the court tomorrow to keep him away from his firearms. but unless a judge rules that way he is allowed to have concealed guns as he says he does on his person, in his car, in his home, really just about anywhere he wants to have them. >> absolutely ridiculous, lisa bloom, thank you for joining us. i want to turn now to toronto

mayor rob ford, the city council today stripped him of most of his powers. amid the cries of shame, shame, the mayor apparently barged over the council member, you certainly don't see this type of thing, in the british parliament. joining me now, a toronto city council member who says that mayor ford has crossed the line and has to go. and robin diddle, it is bordering on the complete and utter farce. the only thing we can say, from where we sit it is all quite entertaining. and the approval ratings are quite high still. is it a story in toronto that is simply splitting everybody down the middle? all the officials want him gone, the public is rallying? >> well, in toronto, we see people -- previous mayors with a

much higher approval rating. when he first started they were around 60. they're not great, it is true they have not moved a lot since the scandal has started. and i mean yeah, he is a master at playing the victim. he is really, really talented at that. you saw it today at council. and people in the states said i can't believe he is doing it. is he completely losing his mind? but no, this is atta tactical decision -- >> why do i feel myself warming to the guy? >> because you can imagine sitting down with him, having a beer, he loves football. >> if he has personal failings, if that is a criteria for being a politician, almost all of them would have to give up their job. >> i don't think that personal failures are smoking crack, but it is the line, for the last six

months he has strongly denied any sort of drug use or drinking. >> he says he was never asked the right questions. >> and i can grab my cell phone and tell you 15 times that i specifically asked -- have you ever used drugs while being mayor? have you ever smoked crack before? i might be, that was a tactical decision he made, he said you didn't ask me about the question because he knows the lying is the big thing. >> let's play the interview with rob ford today. it is quite extraordinary. >> no, i didn't say that, you're absolutely wrong. they said do you smoke crack, and are you a crack addict? no, i don't smoke crack, and i'm not a crack addict rk. i haven't lied, i haven't smoked crack in over a year. >> it is semantics. >> no, it is not semantics, you guys are all the same, i'm not

an alcoholic -- you guys can spin it, you can tell me whatever you want, these people know that i'm not. i show up every day, i'm totally human. have you ever got drunk before, bill? >> of course, but i'm not running -- >> it doesn't matter. >> i don't think bill has gotten drunk as often as you have, mr. ford. and counsel -- councilman, you were supportive for a long time, now you're not? >> well, i was supportive of the fiscal agenda and thought we needed to make changes, i supported him when there were allegations on video, i believed him. i gave him the benefit of the doubt. when they said he had a drinking problem, i never saw him drink, i gave him the benefit of the doubt. the video came out, now we learn

more of his involvement with gangs and drugs. we're find iing that he gets behind the wheel and drinks. he uses the foulest of language in his office, he used the "p" word. his behavior, conduct and bad judgment. and his bad decisions, that is what turned me against him. i believe he has to go. >> i think one of the favorite moments came when he likened all of this to the iraq war. let's watch this clip. >> this, folks, reminds me of when -- and i was watching it with my brother, when saddam attacked kuwait. and president bush said i warn you, i warn you, i warn you do not.

well, folks, if you think american-style politics is nasty, you guys have just attacked kuwait. >> sorry, i know it is wrong, i just find that really funny. he's became a brilliant sketch on snl. let's take a look at that. >> again, i am sorry for how i have been acting, it is not indicative of my position as mayor in this great town of toronto. >> hey, man, i got what you asked for. >> hey, man -- let's do it under the desk. no, don't say what it is. >> all right, well, i got your stuff right here. >> wow, that is a lot of crack! >> oh, that was not mayoral behavior. >> brilliant impression, actually, live pictures of rob

ford coming out of his office today, right now, live. there he is, looking like he is determined to carry on battling. we're watching this for a few seconds, we'll see what he is planning to do. great thing with rob ford he could be planning on doing anything this minute. i would urge you to say watching -- stay watching. here is the crack mayor, going back into his office. so we'll have to keep an eye on that. we'll keep an eye on that. that was happening right behind you. he has been robbed of all of his powers as mayor. can he stumble on as a figurehead, or is this the beginning of the end, do you feel? >> well, he retains the statutory powers given to him by the province, he has lost many of the powers that the city has given to him. so he no longer is leading the

executive committee. he lost a lot of his staff and budget. he can still carry on, he still has responsibilities at official functions and representing the city in many different circumstances. so he has lost a lot of his powers. he still can carry on and still will carry on. and he will start campaigning in election -- many would say he has already started. >> okay, counselor, thank you very much for joining me. we'll keep an eye on mayor ford's office. we have a camera trained on it. hopefully he won't do anything in the next two minutes, but when we come back, the woman who ran against him, sarah thompson, said he groped her at a party. stick around, this could be interesting, as well. i got this.

cares if he gets drunk occasionally? >> he claims he saved a billion dollars, city costs have gone up a rate of 200 million. so he claims these lies and people believe him. >> there is a respectable journalist who says there is some merit to it. >> he is a brand, that brand has changed the culture at city hall. there is no doubt. the question is, can you stomach all the other stuff that you don't want the leader -- >> i have an idea, we have a naughty blonde haired mayor in my town, why don't we swap him? >> is he naughty? >> he is quite naughty. >> does he smoke crack? >> i wouldn't know, but why don't we swap him -- will he sti still be there in a week? >> yeah, he will be there. >> and good to see you, i'm sure the rob ford story will rumble

military site where we did the interview in london. and it was really getting tense. i could see the pressure was building, in the late summer, when i take you back to that moment what was going through your mind? >> well, you know, it is obviously -- you're on the hot seat all the time. and on top of that you're anxiety,anxious, you want to know what the end result will be. >> i may have misread the signals, but i got the feeling you were not at all 100% it would be a great thing for your family. >> i am convinced it would not be a great thing. it is a sacrifice and we should applaud those that do it and the difficulty that families go through when you do go something like that. i think it would have been good for the country, but i'm not necessarily certain it would have been terrific for my children. >> i want to play a clip. this is mitt's interview on

message. you're trying you know -- there is just so many things that are flying at you all the time. you're in intense mode every single day. >> what was the best moment of the whole thing and the worst moment? >> the best moment is seeing the people and seeing the country. that is a collective thing that happens over time. and it is a good country, good people, and it still is despite all the problems we're going through right now and despite the difficulties that we see. you know, it is a good, good country and good people. and we should be optimistic. we should be cheerful. we should be delighted we live in a country with such liberties and freedoms and such opportunities. i still come away saying yeah, it was tough but i still love this country and i still hope that really good people run. it is worth it. it is a delight. i mean, it is hard, yes r, it i brutal, yes, but it is also one of the most extraordinary

experiences. >> outside of the moment you lost, obviously, what was the lowest moment? >> well, you know, election was pretty darn low, i can't think of anything that was lower than that. >> did you go into that night genuinely thinking you could still pull it off? >> i was getting nervous on election day, less sure, i felt really confident. about two weeks before i started -- things started to not be a little bit -- obviously, we had hurricane sandy that was taking all the attention off the election onto you know, the president performing. and i'm like oh, boy, this is not good. so there were those feelings that were not starting to meet. and election day i didn't feel good at all. >> when you saw chris christie sticking his arm around the president were you like get your hands off of him? >> yeah, in some places, buts recognizing that chris was a dear friend to us, mary pat was, as well. he was being a governor, doing what was right for his state at the moment. there are no feelings of

animosity towards chris. >> and interestingly, on obama care, particularly. you rolled out a version in massachusetts that was pretty successful in the end. what do you make on what is going on? you express the situation on health care, what do you make on this? particularly the president's position? >> you know, he put himself in a very sticky place, you either have to think he was not telling the truth or is grossly incompetent. either one of the choices is not a good choice. >> which side are you leaning towards? >> i think a little bit of both? >> do you think he lied? >> i don't think he was telling the truth. >> it is the same thing, isn't it? >> yeah, i know, it is harsh for me to say that. i think mitt said on the cbs morning show, the wrinkles will eventually get worked out one way or the other. but the basic credibility of the

some questions for you. and he said he would be interested to know what is the number one worry that you have about investing in american equities right now given you have so many stakes in so many companies from apple to twitter to others. >> the big worry is not the economy or the business or the companies. the worries is that the political fight in washington impacts the stock market and the sentiment in the united states. we saw how the budget talk and the deficit talk almost ruined the investment in the united states. it's not the economy. the american economy will survive. the worry is that the political fight and bickering between both parties will have impact on the economy and the investor sentiment. >> do you still feel confident

in the way the american economy is going or do you share concerns that many people have that it could potentially if they are not careful rebound back in a recession? >> i have a lot of respect and confidence for the u.s. economy. no doubt about. that very resilient and always comes out of all its downturns and recessions even stronger. >> if you were running the show and obama care had gone the way it has gone, would you be saying we need to start with new people at the top? >> i would not have it roll out before i'm so sure that all the ingredients of success are in order. it is a transformation project. it's like the new deal or enrolling social security and medicare and medicaid. this is a huge transformation project and it began on the wrong footing. clearly obama right now is not

going to rescind it or have it change dramatically, he will try to patch it up and it will create more instability. >> one roll out that went well was twitter and you were a big investor. obviously you have made a handsome return. why did you like twitter so much? >> yeah, we now, for twitter to be successful, hundreds of other social media companies have to fail. really, we follow twitter from the beginning. we like the business model. we did not invest from the beginning. we only invested in twitter went it went out of venture capital and became on the verge of maturity. there is a lot of discussion on how it is going to monetize the business model. >> you don't follow anybody. >> yet.
